Writing

Whether it involves working on a blog entry or developing a book or article idea, I am always looking for fresh ways to connect theology with every day life.

My “inspirations” usually come through some kind of life situation (frequently involving my children) that provides an illustration of a particular theological idea. Writing is also a wonderful way to express what God is doing in my life and how He is developing my faith — both in heart and mind. I write two standing columns (“Bible Bookend” and “Educator's Help Desk”) in the Reasons To Believe e-zine, New Reasons To Believe.

Finding Light in Dark Matter

Einstein’s theory of general relativity is foundational to some of the greatest scientific evidences for the existence of God. Dr. Jeff Zweerink highlights a recent cluster of discoveries that buttress and refine our understanding of the beginning and development of the universe (see “Multiple General Relativity Tests Affirm a Creator”). This research also contributes to the growing body of evidence for the existence of dark matter and dark energy as the dominant “stuff” of the universe. While these particular phenomena are not specifically mentioned in the Bible, research has revealed the remarkable level of design these dark substances exhibit and the critical role they play in support of advanced life. more...

Reasons Institute

Remember the saying, “The best defense is a good offense”?  As I interacted with people at the Oklahoma Homeschool Conventions this year, those words seemed especially relevant. Many of the parents who approached our RTB booth asked some variation of the same question: “How can I prevent my children from leaving Christianity behind as they grow into adulthood?” more...
